We have done the good things that Northern Ireland has to offer as well. It's out there you just have to know where to look.

For example on Easter Tuesday, we were at the #UlsterMuseum to see Hannah Starkey photographic exhibition Principled & Revolutionary: Northern Ireland’s Peace Women. It would be nice to see the more positive side of NI on show more often.

My favourite image from the #UlsterMuseum, taken in 2014. It was good to finally discover the location of ‘The Troubles’.

The kidnapped lady. Currently visiting the #UlsterMuseum, on loan from the National Gallery of Ireland is one of Goya's most striking female portraits, Doña Antonia Zárate (c1805). The #Goya exhibition is free at the UM. This was one of the paintings stolen from Russborough House (twice, in 1974 and again in 1986) and transferred to the NGI after recovery in 1993. #Belfast
